Answer 1

The answer is b ……..

Answer 2

B. Gave women the right to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed in 1920 and it granted women the right to vote. Before this amendment was passed, women were not allowed to vote in many states, and the suffrage movement had been fighting for women's voting rights for decades. The amendment reads, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." This was a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality in the United States.
